WOW!!! even MORE defense depth problems for the Blackhawks. top defensive D-man Johnny Oduya signed with the Senators July 24th 1 year $1 million. they still have Brent Seabrook, Duncan Keith, Brian Campbell and Michal Rozsival BUT the last two are both 38 years old and the lineup gets pretty "thin" after those four
GOOD new for the Rangers. projected 1st line center Mika Zibanejad re-signed July 25th. 5 years total of $26.75 million. almost a "must sign" after the Derek Stepan trade to Phoenix
